So you’ve made it through the first week of fantasy basketball and came out the other side not only covered in mucus, but also likely one of two types of fantasy hoopsters: Either the type that wants to wait a few weeks to see what kind of lineup you drafted before making any changes, or the type that dropped three players 90 seconds after the draft was over. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Look, I was very satisfied with the last episode of "As the Harden Turns..." (the actual turning speed depends on the girth of his fat suit) but no one can argue that actually watching the 76ers play is probably just as entertaining as watching the 76ers not play, so let's consider last night a wash. And despite Harden not being allowed to get on the team plane (is "No U!" a legitimate DNP reason?), the debut of the newly unstoppable pic n' pop duo of Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo definitely lived up to expectations, with Dame finishing the night with 39 points with 4 assists and 8 rebounds, 12 of those points coming in the fourth quarter (with two free throws that iced the game) and there's this below:
While we'll have a separate look at this past NBA Draft as a whole, it's probably a pretty logical idea to highlight some of the best-of-the-best-of-the-best (contextually speaking!) players from this new class that will be garnering major minutes in their respective rotations for the upcoming 2023-24 Season. Also, the Victor Wembanyama name-drops for the almighty SEO Gods also makes this subject-matter easy to talk about. AGGREGRATE ME BRO. And speaking of which, if you thought "Wemby-Watch!" was absurd last season, wait until this basketball year when he actually gets to play professionally! However, this kinda makes our jobs as content-entrepreneurs (or how I like to refer to myself: content-philanthropist) a bit easier. I mean, what can you say about Wemby that hasn't already been said about a tall crane following down on a skyscraper? Tall, destructive and attention-grabbing. The crane actually collapsing like it's WWII really brings the French part out too... and the joke itself is worthy enough to lose the two-to-three French-speaking readers that I estimate we have. (I don't know how to estimate, if you were wondering.)
